Abstract:
Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies offer a pathway to enable the use of clean energy systems to reduce emissions, enhance energy security, and stimulate the global economy. As part of a portfolio of clean energy technologies, including energy efficiency, renewable energy and fuels, and battery-electric vehicles, employing hydrogen and fuel cells in the economy
will help us to achieve these goals. A decade of sustained global research, development and demonstration (RD&D) is now producing the necessary technological breakthroughs for hydrogen and fuel cells to compete in the market. This report offers examples of real-world applications around the world and technical progress of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, including policies adopted by countries to increase technology development and commercialization.
